Children who continue to have fever symptoms after experiencing otitis media may be caused by several factors: first, the disease itself has not completely healed, possibly because the purulent secretions in the ear canal have not been effectively cleared, leading to worsening of the condition; second, there may be improper behaviors during treatment, such as not following medical advice in the use of antibiotics or adjusting medication dosage arbitrarily, making it difficult to control the infection effectively; third, otitis media combined with other infections, such as a cold, can exacerbate the condition; fourth, lifestyle habits, such as overconsumption of spicy and greasy foods, may lead to a weakened immune system, which is not conducive to recovery.
In the face of this situation, parents should promptly take their children to the hospital for professional examination to accurately determine the specific reasons. In terms of treatment, doctors may prescribe antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules, cefaclor granules, etc., to combat the pathogens. For high fever, ibuprofen suspension may also be recommended for fever reduction. Emphasizing the importance of following medical advice for correct medication use, maintaining ear hygiene, avoiding water entry into the ears to prevent exacerbation of infection is crucial. When children have a cold, appropriate use of medications such as pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, and taking physical cooling measures are also necessary. In addition, adjusting children’s dietary structure, focusing on light and ensuring adequate water intake, can help accelerate recovery.
Through comprehensive treatment and lifestyle adjustments, it is possible to effectively address the recurrent fever issue in children after otitis media, promoting children’s health.
